A two year old boy named Daniel Rees-Smith drowned in a garden pond on June 4th because his father, mother and grandmother neglected him. When the police arrived to Rees’s home the child was still in the garden pond. He was pronounced death in the hospital. The father, mother and grandmother originally faced manslaughter charges and charges for neglecting a child, but they pleaded guilty of neglecting the child. The prosecution accepted this and they would not pursue the manslaughter charges. The charge which is given to all three: neglected, abandoned, or exposed Daniel Rees-Smith in a manner of unnecessary suffering or injury to health. Sentencing will take place on July 21st.
I think the prosecution should have pursued the manslaughter charges because that is what the father, mother and grandmother of Daniel have done. Now they are only getting charged with neglecting the child. They knew what they were doing, so they have to pay for what they did. I think that it’s awful that this has happened and I can’t understand why you can do such a thing to your own child. If you neglect your child since the day that he’s born, why did you want a child then?
